Although he had long thought that the weapon that could make the whole of Pyongyang burn must be a domineering anomaly, when Gao Wensan and his subordinates also entered Pyongyang, they couldn't help but be shocked by the tragic situation in Pyongyang...

Burn, burn, burn ...

Trees are burning, buildings are burning, even corpses are burning on the side of the road...

Burn...

This was almost the first impression of Pyongyang by Gao Wenshan and his men, who saw Pyongyang, an ancient city with thousands of years of history, as if it were a city on fire...

Especially those charred corpses that fell on both sides of the road, it made Gao Wenshan feel disgusted―――――― he hadn't seen them before, but so many charred corpses, and they were so miserable, he had seen them for the first time.

In front of him, a large number of corpses were burned to the ground, and the horrific condition of these corpses was almost shocking. They can't tell whether they are men or women anymore, and the unrecognizable Cheng dù makes people don't even want to look at it, and the posture when they fall to the ground can show how painful they were when they were dying...

"Hell, what kind of weapon is used on it..."After witnessing the tragic situation in Pyongyang, a staff officer who followed behind Gao Wenshan couldn't help but say.

This, obviously, also said the thoughts of the others present, but after frowning slightly, Gao Wenshan didn't say anything, just muttered. "Let's hope this fire doesn't hinder our operations..."

"There will be obstacles, and there will be real concerns. With such a big fire, we must also consider extinguishing the fire after we occupy Pyongyang, otherwise we will let the fire continue to burn. I'm afraid this city won't save much more than the city walls..."When he said this, the chief of staff standing beside Gao Wenshan couldn't help but frown.

If he was still pleased and happy with the results of the bomber unit before he came in, then after facing this tragic situation in front of him, he quickly changed his mind...

These fires naturally played a huge role in their invasion of Pyongyang, but as the situation changed. After they entered the city, this role changed dramatically...

First things first. In the past, the Japanese were the masters of the city, so naturally there were many issues to consider, and it was up to the Japanese to worry about extinguishing fires. But now. But they are going to be the masters of the city. And the fire was bigger than when the Japanese were there...

And at this time, it is no longer the Japanese who need to think about extinguishing the fire, but them...

And once inside the city, the fire could easily hinder their attack. The most important thing is that the majority of people in this city are North Koreans, and it can even be said that there are more North Koreans than any other side...

Now that they have ruined Pyongyang so badly, it is conceivable what attitude the North Koreans will use to treat them―――――― in the eyes of the North Koreans in the past, they are liberated. But now, I'm afraid they have become even more terrible devils than the Japanese.

Even. Since the Japanese occupation of Korea, the number of Koreans who have died at the hands of the Japanese is probably not as many as in the fire, and this has had a great impact on their rule over the city.

"It's hard, it's hard..."

――――――――――――――――――――

Shaking his head, Gao Wenshan also felt that it was a bit too much to burn the city so badly. But he wouldn't say it, because the fact that they were able to rush in so smoothly had a lot to do with the burning of the city. Therefore, after a moment of silence, Gao Wenshan quickly spoke.

"Okay, don't say so much, the most important thing now is to stand down in Pyongyang as much as possible, the 33rd Army will not last long, we must occupy Pyongyang before the 33rd Army collapses, and then build a defensive line with the existing conditions..."

"Yes! I understand! ”

With the order of Gao Wenshan, a huge offensive began...

The 17th Army, which had stormed Pyongyang, launched an attack on the Japanese troops in the city without any reserves.

In normal times, even if the number of Japanese troops in the city was much less than that of the 17th Army, it would still be able to hold them back for a long time. One of the key factors in this was that the Japanese built a large number of fortifications in the city of Pyongyang, which were enough to help the Japanese troops in the city hold out for a long time...

This was also one of the many arrangements that Utsunomiya Taro had made in advance, and although he did not think that the 17th Army would be able to enter Pyongyang at the time, he was fully prepared.

It's just that...

He never thought that the Chinese could really fight in, and the most crucial point was that he did not expect at all that the Japanese were attacking under the condition that almost half of Pyongyang was set on fire, and in this case, the fortifications originally built by Utsunomiya Taro naturally became all decorations, and in front of the 17th Army, they did not even play a role at all, and they had been torn apart by the Wehrmacht...

The Japanese army, who was originally busy fighting fires, obviously did not expect the Chinese to come in so quickly, especially the previous bombing, which made the situation in the city extremely chaotic...

In addition, the Japanese troops in the city had lost contact with Utsunomiya Taro, so they had to retreat in the face of the Wehrmacht offensive, even though they were already trying their best to resist.

Especially in the face of the armored forces that rushed into the city, although the Japanese also had some anti-tank equipment, most of them were actually placed outside the city. Even if there are some in the city, most of them are placed in some fortifications, and they are going to be used when Chinese really attack the city, but now all these weapons and equipment have been buried in the sea of fire, and even if they can still be used, if they want to use them, they need to be taken out of the sea of fire first―――――― it is very clear that the Japanese will never be able to do this.

So in the absence of anti-tank equipment. The Wehrmacht, with armored units leading the charge, is simply overwhelming!

It almost took just over three hours to occupy most of the city, and even the ones that followed. It's already handy. Because under the plan of Gao Wenshan and some other staff officers, almost all of the areas involved were the most burned places, in other words, the remaining remnants of the defeated generals could be said to be pushed into a dead end...

"In this way, maybe before sunrise tomorrow, we can take the entire city..."Seeing that the battle was fought so smoothly, Gao Wenshan couldn't help but go to a temporary headquarters with some excitement.

This temporary command. It is one of the many strongholds of the Secret Service in Pyongyang.

Perhaps because of good fortune, the stronghold was not affected by the previous bombardment. And the distance from the fire also seems to be quite far. Most importantly, it has a large amount of information about Pyongyang collected by the Secret Service. Its detailed process is definitely much higher than what Gao Wenshan knows, which is one of the reasons why Gao Wenshan chose this place as the headquarters...

However, after hearing Gao Wenshan's words, the chief of staff standing on the side couldn't help but shake his head. "It's not time to be happy yet. Don't forget. The city is still burning. It is true that those Japanese are now being driven to a dead end by us, but when the 33rd Army withdraws, we can't just use such a burning city to meet them, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is to send out some troops now, and control the fire first, so that the fire does not continue to spread, and it is mainly the North Koreans themselves who are fighting the fire in the city at the moment. Fortunately, Pyongyang itself has an outlet to the sea, and the water source is simple. So it's okay to arrive for the time being, but if it continues to delay, no one knows whether these North Koreans can still be controlled. The most important thing is that this city was burned by us, who dares to say that these Koreans will not resent us, after all, we not only burned their homes, but also burned their relatives, when entering the city, you can see the situation along the way clearly, I don't know how many citizens of this city died in the fire, so we must find a way to improve the relationship with each other, otherwise, in case the Japanese soldiers come to the city, they suddenly turn around and help the Japanese......... Even if the strength of these North Koreans is insignificant, we need to be careful..."

After hearing the chief of staff say this, Gao Wenshan pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll first transfer the strength of a regiment to help control the fire..."

In fact, Gao Wenshan's hands are also understaffed now. Not to mention anything else, it would take a lot of troops to suppress the Japanese army in the city first, and this part alone occupied the strength of an infantry division and an infantry brigade in the hands of Gao Wenshan, which was already equivalent to half of the troops in Gao Wenshan's hands.

In addition, there is also a need to find some way outside the city, after all, when the 33rd Army withdraws, it will definitely be followed by a large Japanese army. If we hadn't built some fortifications first, maybe the Japanese would have been able to repeat their performance not long ago, and rush in from the outside...

If that were the case, they would have done so many sins, but they would have done it in vain...

Therefore, it is also necessary to allocate a part of the forces to build a sufficiently strong fortification on the outskirts of Pyongyang. In this way, when the 33rd Army withdrew, they could use the fortification of Guò to stop the Japanese pursuers...

And considering that Pyongyang's peripheral fortifications have been destroyed, this part of the force is still indispensable, so Gao Wenshan can divide the strength of a regiment at this time, which is already very generous, but ―――――― this is definitely not a full regiment, after all, the battle has been fought for such a long time, and there are more than a thousand people left in a regiment who can move, which is already very good...

――――――――――――――――――――――

In Beijing, in the presidential palace, after learning the news that the 17th Army had invaded Pyongyang, the atmosphere of the entire presidential palace suddenly became lively. People who had been gloomy because of the bad news have started to smile again...

"It's finally getting in..."

After hearing the new news, Li Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"yes!" Duan Qirui nodded. The expression was similarly relaxed.

During this time, they were very difficult, because of the relationship between the front line, they hardly dared to relax in the slightest...

Fortunately, now the matter has finally come to an end. They can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, the president..." After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Liang looked at Yan Shao. On the question of the supplies they wanted, Commander Gao..."

Although the original decision was to take Pyongyang by the Gawain Mountain, and then the navy organized troops to transport supplies or something, after the matter was completed, another problem arose, that is, the Japanese might take the seamount interception measures...

On the other hand. Hearing Li Liang's words, Yan Shao looked at Sa Zhenbing, whose face had also become much more relaxed. "How's that, Minister Sa. The problem of supplies should be solved by handing it over to the navy..."

"Please rest assured..."Glancing at Yan Shao and Gao Wenshan, Sa Zhenbing straightened his waist and said. I'm ready, I just need the Army guys to load all the ammunition on the ship, and then we can get the fleet going. Then take advantage of the night. Although the process of letting the fleet enter Pyongyang from the mouth of the sea and unloading the supplies on it will be dangerous, as long as you are careful, there will basically be no problems, but..."Speaking of this, Sa Zhenbing said hesitantly. "If the Japanese keep an eye on the position of the entrance to the sea, I am afraid that things will be a little difficult to handle. Therefore, if Gao Junshang and they can first send a part of their forces to build artillery positions on both sides of the estuary. I believe that things should go much better, and no matter how crazy the Japanese are, I believe that they will not stay in the estuary with batteries on both sides..."

"Artillery position..."Hearing Sa Zhenbing's words, Cai Yuanpei frowned slightly. Does this work? ”

"Don't worry." Smiling, Sa Zhenbing said with great confidence. "There is a saying in the naval circles that only a madman will bombard the battery, and the current situation is also the same, Pyongyang's inlet to the sea is not very large, the Japanese battleships cannot enter at all, and only cruisers can enter, the problem is that the cruiser is too far behind the battery in terms of attack power and defense ability, even if it is only a temporary artillery position, so as long as Commander Gao has enough heavy artillery there, it can definitely make the Japanese dare not step into the sea half a step. Even if you come in, you won't be able to take advantage of it..."

"In this way..."Hearing Sa Zhenbing say this, after a moment of silence, Duan Qirui, who had not spoken on the side, spoke. The biggest question now is whether there are enough important ......... there are still enough important people in the senior army Or is there a sufficient number of heavy artillery shells..."Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Because this is a very real problem, shells of heavy artillery ...

Judging from the information that came back not long ago, Gao Wenshan and they can already be said to have fired all the shells. Even if they still have enough artillery in this case, where does the problem with shells come from?

They can't let Gao Wenshan build their positions first, and wait until the navy delivers the supplies...

Fortunately, Gao Wenshan's telegram soon solved this problem.

Of course, he didn't have shells, but they were only artillery ammunition for the Wehrmacht's own equipment. As for the Japanese artillery and ammunition, Gao Wenshan captured a lot of them. So if it is really needed, Gao Wenshan can use this part of the ammunition to prepare at present, and wait until the logistics are delivered―――――― and then use the Japanese shells to hit the Japanese, from a certain point of view, this is also a great irony...

And with this news came another piece of news...

Utsunomiya Taro, they found ...

However, what was found was the body of Utsunomiya Taro, and with it, there was almost the entire upper echelons of the Korean Front...

In that closed bomb shelter ...

After adopting the chief of staff, Gao Wenshan sent a regiment of men to extinguish the fire in the city. Although the North Koreans resented the fact that the National Defense Forces had set the whole of Pyongyang on fire, in the face of the fire, they still abandoned their previous suspicions and worked hard to control or even extinguish the fire...

Among them, naturally, the headquarters of the North Korean Front was included, and in the process of extinguishing the fire, they also found a bomb shelter that was covered up....

――――――――――――――――――――――――

At that time, the entrance to the bomb shelter had been completely covered by rubble.

Fortunately, there were more people present at that time, and the process of moving out was clear, so they quickly opened the door of the bomb shelter, and then saw the upper echelons of the entire Korean Front army inside......... The corpse...

Since Utsunomiya Taro, almost all the corpses are inside, and there are more than 100 corpses, lying scattered in the bomb shelter, and the smell of corpses coming from it makes the people who opened the bomb shelter feel disgusting until now.

Especially when they were opened, almost all at once, a large pile of corpses poured out of it. And from the hideous expressions and movements when they died, it can be seen that before they died, almost all of these people were crowded in front of the exit, desperately trying to open the exit...

Because of this, almost all the people present at that time were in a bad cold, because they couldn't imagine what these Japanese had suffered before.

But when it came to Utsunomiya Taro, the commander of the Korean Front, he died peacefully, just sitting in his place, like taking a sauna in a military uniform... (To be continued......)
